Is it possible to use it for rice

I meant to add just follow microwave directions including stand time and you can't go wrong. Keep the steam vent closed.

I wouldn't use it for anything other than making rice, you could use chicken broth instead of water to flavor the rice, but I don't know what might happen if you put just liquid in it. It is a pressure cooker but specifically designed for rice, and at the price you pay for it, I wouldn't use it "off label" as you'll surely void the warranty. Page #3 of the manual in big letters says: "This product is for cooking and keeping rice warm only" and right underneath it has lots of "Don'ts" regarding only using it for rice and not for anything that will possibly expand/splatter/splash up to clog the pressure relief valve.

I have not done it myself, but you should be able to. The manual says it is fine. I have no trouble with wheat berries or dent corn, so rice should be no problem.

I am not sure if you can boil rice unless you are boiling rice in a bag, the holes in the baskets are too large for rice. The baskets don't actually hang they are just placed into the pot. I have only used this pot for fish boils and have not tried to do rice, works great for fish boils. Excellent pot

Yes it would work great for cooking rice it actually works with anything you are boiling. It is a very good product.

yes, but you would run a small risk of burning. For that little rice, you need to use instant rice in a microwave.

Definitely not; I use it for both rice and quinoa without any difficulty. However, one of the handles came off of mine soon after I got it. I didn't return it because I still needed it and didn't want to wait for an exchange. Otherwise, it has proven durable enough but not of highest quality manufacture.

Yes, it can be cooked as you do any other rice. You can use a rice cooker or regular pot.

It is not meant to be used with the electric rice cooker. You have to use it in the microwave.

I don't think so. The cutter only work for very thin materials. Probably very very thin layer of fruit. I returned the item because the rice does not come out easily.

Absolutely. You can steam the rice or you can slow cook but I prefer the steamed one. You can also use the regular cook option to cook it.

you can certainly boil water in it and the lid fits tightly enough, so yes...it would cook a small amount of rice.

I rarely cook rice, and have a multicooker that does that very well. I don't think you can steam rice in this because the rice will fall through the holes in the steaming basket down into the hot water below. Actual electric rice cookers are cheap and automatic, so that's the way to go.

You probably can, but you actually won't be steaming the rice as the water and rice needs to boil together first. Use just the base and lid, but unless you're cooking a lot of rice, the base might be too wide (unless you have the personal size steamer set). I use a rice cooker (so easy) and they come in different sizes.

You can use it for sauteing and rice dishes. Rice comes out fluffy and not stuck together, love it for rice. Be sure to season correctly prior to first use.

Other than canned soup, I don't think so but I have never tried to cook anything but rice (and it does not do a very good job of it at all). But it might be interesting to try steaming fresh shrimp or some veggies to find out.

Yes! This rice cooker is pressurized up to certain amount time so you can make any rice especially, jasmine rice but if you looking for cook just plain rice I would recommend to purchase plain rice cooker with any brand. This rice cooker is little pricey compare to plain rice cooker but if plans to cook all kinds of rice then I would recommend to purchase this one. I hope this would help to make your decision.
